This Creamy Pesto Gnocchi with Lemon is on the table, start to finish, in less than TEN MINUTES! Ten! Full of flavor, filling and the perfect weeknight meal!
To a pan over medium heat, add pesto, chicken stock and heavy cream. Bring to a bubble, then add in gnocchi.
Cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes until gnocchi is cooked through and sauce begins to thicken (See Note 2).
Turn off the heat and stir in parmesan and lemon zest. If sauce seems a bit thick, add in a splash of chicken stock.
Season with fresh ground pepper and salt (as needed) and serve immediately.
Notes
Note 1: Gnocchi typically comes in 16-17 oz packages, refrigerated or non refrigerated are both fine!Note 2: Sauce thickens very quickly because of all the starch in the gnocchi, so if it becomes too thick, just add in a little more chicken stock.
